Hello Tropaeolum hookerianum growers in Zone 9b,

Do you grow your Tropaeolum outdoors? I am in Zone 9b (nearly Zone 10; similar to Sunset Zone 24 except we get light frost) and plan to grow my Tropaeolum outdoors. Is this folly?

I received 2 tubers from Telos Rare Bulbs last week. The growing instructions enclosed are for growing in a pot.

I read online that this Tropaeolum comes from a part of Chile with coastal fog and dry summers, which is like our climate here in Santa Barbara. So I am hopeful this will grow outdoors here.
